Scared / intimidated

So in a bit we are going off to get my weeks shopping and I am gonna attempt to walk everywhere again

And I didn't manage, my right foot was turning over as I walked, like last week, but since then I have the email saying "Relearning" so I didn't want my right foot to learn all wrong so I stopped walking ½ an aisle later then refused to go any more. I came back here and put my shopping away and had sum lunch etc then Ed said "Walk outside with me" so I tried and now I could do it without my foot turning over. So perhaps next week I will walk but be 'chaired round the shop

Then, after lunch we went out, for one direction I asked to goto Cwrt Henri which still makes me feel a bit emotional, even tho it was before Freya was born when we lived there

Phone Call

And I received a phone call today from Brian, Julia's dad. We chatted for a bit, I think his main conversation was "How's Toby?" and I think I was able to make his heart beat better. I think and I hope

Frances

I haven't got into Frank Zappa for some time but I have tonight "Why does it hurt" etc etc etc

SBS

Gosh, it is boring not being busy as I am 6 days next week. Although I did learn why I need to use my 'stick, to stop my body relearning how to walk all wonky

Much Later

So Paul came round and did some dull paperwork then took me out. Just before we went out I switched off the PC so I wasn't able to check the address of a good local veggie place, we went round town two or 3 times before a brain wave struck paul and we went to Frankie and Benny's in Carmarthen in what I remember as the cattle market car park, but it is now an enormous shopping center. Gosh it was mostly meat but we both had a different veggie dish and we were both pleased and impressed

But with the garlic bread to me it tasted like mostly toast, I couldn't taste garlic

And in the driving all over stage we went to Burry Port for a look. They couldn't feed us as the room was privately booked but they did confirm that tomorrows Folk Club is on

Iplayer

Watching Iplayer again

This seems to be becoming a habit now

A very very big habit now, still watching the same, hour long, program

And as a last track they sang "Sex and drugs and rock'n'roll, it's all my brain and body needs" which I can relate to

L8R

Well, it's now Saturday, a bit of a dull day. On a positive note I am going out for dinner with Paul tonight, dunno where we are going yet but it looks good anyway

Iplayer

And I am watching a program on't telly tonight too, BBC Iplayer Annie Nightingale - Bird on the Wireless and it is strange but I like it

Background Colour

And I couldn't find the code to put a background colour on a piece of txt, because I wanted one here, and good lord, I found clues like add this 76 lines of code to the tag etc, and was starting to think "I mustn't have done this before, perhaps I am remembering falsley.

Then at last I found 1 line of code to put anywhere on the page to work

Duh, it is so simple, I have done it and used it now

And where it sez here I did a bit so that link opens up the bottom of the pic, the relevant bit

Paulism

So this morning Paul came round. We talked briefly then went to town. There we went shopping bought 2 swimming trunks, an XL and an XXXXXL. We also bought some sweets, shhh. We came back and the XL trunks fitted so we went back to Tescos and got a refund on the XXXXXL ones. The ones that fitted were £3 (minus 25% at the till). The returned ones were £7 (minus 25% at the till)

Hot

Good lord, it is now 10PM, I have been sat outside under the sky for more than 20 minutes just wearing a T-shirt and a pair of trews, and it is still so hot

It's now nearly midnight and I sat outside for 5 mins before heading to bed, still in my T-shirt

Edding

So Ed came over this morning, we chatted for a bit then set off to head for Dynamic Rock Adventure, the Rock Climbing place, in Swansea. It's 2 junctions past Swansea West but it is still called Swansea North. Anyway we went there, he said I'll just go and see how to enter you, came back 2 minutes later and said "Closed 'til 12 o'clock, where shall we go?". I said that soon after 12 I would be looking for lunch so why didn't we head back for an early lunch then we can come back and play. So as we headed back to Carmarthen we passed a lorry, I asked "I wonder if that's my car being delivered?". After lunch we headed back to the Climbing Centre and good lord, all I can say is "Wow". It was a free visit for us today as we weren't climbing but I am rather impressed, I think we will go back, if we can sort out some hassle(1), and have a go

Yes, I said that I would have a go!!! (/radical)

(1) The loo is upstairs eg

Sweets

I have just had ½ packet of Jelly Babies that I bought while I was out and about s'morning. I don't remember having any in the last eight years but they are as nice as ever

YUM YUM

Yoghurt

Oops, I thought tonight I better check the best before date on the 3 small yoghurt's in the fridge. Today it is the 1st of June, the 3 yoghurt's had the date 3rd. As in one tonight, one tomorrow, one on Friday. Phew, it was just in time when I checked

Paulish

So today Paul came round s'morning. We talked for a bit, he listened to me talking about slopy writing etc, got me to practice on a variety of slopes then said "I will make you one". Then we went to town, went and got a tape measure so I could measure my waist so Paul can get me some trunx. While we were in there I walked the whole length of the shop and stayed standing while I got myself some sweets. Then we went and had a cheese and onion pasty out of the bakers so we were in town in time to go to the Podiatrist who cut all my toenails including the one I hadn't been able to cut as it's an in growing toenail but it all feels a lot better. We asked if we can make another appt. to go back next month he said "No, we can;'t just cut toe nails, cant someone from Leonard Cheshire do it?". We had to say "No, they are not allowed" but him and Paul arranged for Paul and Ed (and presumably Jackie) to be trained(!!!) so they will be "allowed" to cut my toenails before my feet are such a mess that I am able to ask him again

More To The Point

And today I was able to write better than I have been in years, I went online and looked for help devices but they were all too dear but it occurred to be I just need a tilt, like a file sideways!!!

Groovy Device

And I finally figured out how to make my hand held PC device read a book online today, so I was able to sit reading on it

Groovy Chick

And yes, that beautiful daughter came to see me earlier

And good lord we had the dinner that Sarah advised me on today, I enjoyed it but Freya said "Don't like courgettes" but apart from them seemed to eat it all up well

OT

So Sarah the OT came round with a bag of ingredients and we cooked together a risotto for tonight. It tastes good so far and was very easy to make, so it might go on my "regular" list of dishes to cook

Finished

And I have just finished a book, a Spike Milligan poetry book that I have been reading for a few days, I finished the old fashioned paper edition today
